You can use drawing tools to edit and finalize drawings.

With the drawing tools you can:

  • Align drawing objects

  • Create fillets

  • Create straight and round chamfers

  • Copy with offsets

  • Create, delete and update moment connection symbols

  • Create, delete and update cut lines

See Drawing Tools in the Tekla User Assistance for more information.

Using the Moment Connection Symbol tool

Whenever you have a Moment Connection, change Moment Connection Symbol attribute (on the End Conditions tab) to Yes. Then in the drawing run the Drawing tool macro and click the Moment Connection symbol button in the Drawing tools toolbar.

Next select a part or view where the Moment Connection Symbol attribute has been set to Yes and then click the Create button in the Create Moment Connection Symbol dialog. A MC Symbol ► will be created at the end of any part which had this attribute set to Yes in your selected view.
